Concluding remarks.Buker tells the untold story of crime labs. Through extensive field research he scrutinizes the problem of malpractice in the US publicly-funded crime labs from an administrative perspective. Several examples of malpractice in these organizations reflect not only individual mishaps of forensic scientists working in these labs, but also organizational failures. Buker finds that elements of organizational environment and organizational behavior of the crime labs combine to create this organizational failure. He concludes with public policy suggestions to maintain and amplify the trustworthiness Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Crime laboratoriesUnited StatesMalpracticeUnited StatesEvidence, CriminalUnited StatesCriminal investigationUnited StatesElectronic books.Crime laboratoriesMalpracticeEvidence, CriminalCriminal investigation363.250973Buker Hasan1977-917230MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452347003321Fraudulent forensic evidence2056394UNINA
